I NEED those earrings. I said as much probably four times during the broadcast.

It speaks to my and my peers' experience, but it's a comedy. It exaggerates for the sake of humor and narrative convenience. I can relate to The Office because I've had weird and annoying and sometimes terrible coworkers, but I also know that the characters aren't, and aren't supposed to be, real people with…

Mr. Tatum is now 400% sexier to me. And with the baby sling? Swoon.

Serious. So fab. So classy. I was at the gym and almost fell off the elliptical.

I got that impression too. I got the distinct impression you were supposed to feel as weird about it as Charlotte did.

I have a universal base for my passwords (that includes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and a special character). The base remains the same for every password, but is customized based on a standard rule and the name of the website I'm creating a password for. So, for instance (this is not my system, identity…

This is the only rule of female friendship, and it is paramount.

Holy shit, yes, there is a bro code, and heaven help you if you break it. I started dating a friend of my ex (this was college and we were all in the same friend group). The ex was emotionally unstable generally, which is why we were no longer together, but when he found out his friend and I were hanging out — not…

I noticed that too! I am super self-conscious about my arms, so it was great to see a beautiful, poised, graceful young woman in a sleeveless dress with arms that are clearly strong but not tiny!

I have so many conflicting feelings about this. I am morally opposed to jumpsuits, in principle. But...I am thinking...maybe...Liz is pulling it off? I may need to lie down for a while.

Agreed 100%. It needs more shape to it. She went light and subtle with the rest of her makeup (as she should! Love the look!), but that means the extra-heavy liner overwhelms her features. Everything else is A+, though.

Pretty sure if you're wealthy enough to afford that shower installation, you already have service staff who would keep it spotless.

Right?? My secret shame turns out to be more common than I ever imagined.

I think it's cute that while the entire remainder of the country has moved on, Florida is still holding on to Isabella/Twilight.

Sex with BC isn't disallowed because it prevents life from occurring. It's because the Catholic Church views sexual activity as being essentially ordered (teleologically) to be both unitive and procreative in the context of monogamous marriage. That is, it is capable of binding spouses closer together and of…

Well, saying "but everybody does it anyway" isn't really a good moral argument. For instance, I feel pretty confident that 100% of Catholics lie or gossip in some capacity. That doesn't mean the Church should stop telling them to cut it out.

I understand what you're getting at, but your original post implied that the Catholic Church condemns artificial birth control and abortion for the same reasons and in equal measure, and that's simply not true. It's fine to disagree with both positions, but they are distinct and not at all synonymous.

The College of Cardinals and the pope do not make any specific differentiation between actions that prevent the conception and actions that terminate a pregnancy. To them, abortion ends a life and contraception prevents it, and both of these outcomes are counter to god's will.False, actually. Catholic teaching marks a…

Me too! TCOYF was a miracle for me. I love being aware of what my body is doing and why, and I wish more women had the same kind of knowledge.

I'm being annoying in telling everybody in this combox about this, but have you looked into Fertility Awareness Methods? Modern methods are incredibly effective and you can choose your method of avoiding pregnancy during your identified fertile periods (some women abstain, others use condoms or pull out). It can be…
